INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Do You Need an Installation Kit?
Inspect the radio opening as described below to
determine if you need an installation kit.
1. Use the trimplate supplied with the radio to
cover the existing dashboard opening. If it
completely covers the opening, you can
install the radio without an installation kit. If
it does not cover the opening, you will
need an installation kit (see page 4).
2. Check for sufficient space behind the
dashboard for the radio chassis.
Using a Mounting Sleeve
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis.
If it is locked into position, use the removal
tools (supplied) to disengage it.
BEND TABS
2. Check the dashboard opening size by
sliding the mounting sleeve into it.
Carefully cut or file as necessary until the
sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do
not force the sleeve or cause it to bend or
bow. Check for sufficient space behind the
dashboard for the radio chassis.
3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the
top, bottom, and sides of the mounting
sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into
the dashboard opening, bend as many of
the tabs outward as necessary to firmly
secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard
opening and bring the wires through the
mounting sleeve. Follow the wiring
diagram carefully, making certain all
connections are secured with wire nuts or
electrical tape. After completing the wiring
connections, turn the unit on to confirm
operation (vehicle ignition must be "on"). If
the unit does not operate, re-check all
wiring until the problem is corrected.
5. Adjust the AM Antenna Trimmer, located
on the right side of the chassis, for opti-
mum AM reception.
a. Tune in a weak station around 1400
KHz on the AM band.
b. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the
trimmer for maximum output.

AM ANTENNA TRIMMER
NOTE: The Antenna Trimmer only affects
AM reception and will have no effect on FM
reception. The Trimmer should only need
adjusting when the radio is first installed
and when a change is made to the vehicle
antenna (replacing the mast, etc.).
6. Make sure the radio is right-side up, then
carefully slide the radio into the mounting
sleeve until it is fully seated and the spring
clips lock it into place.
7. Attach one end of the perforated support
strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the
rear of the chassis using the hex nut
provided. Fasten the other end of the
perforated strap to a secure part of the
dashboard, either above or below the
radio, using the screw provided. Bend the
strap to position it as necessary.
8. Test the radio using the Operating
Instructions that follow.
